So what should you do if you suspect your
partner is cheating on you? I know, I know,
you’re tired of the same old answers, the same
song and dance. Hire an investigator, check his
phone calls, computer investigation, blah, blah,
blah. The list of can do’s can go on and on and
on. Well, I am going to tell you what you
shouldn’t do. Do not confront your partner about
cheating without having any proof. A cheater is
a liar, always. They will deny and lie till
they’re blue in the face. You better have your
ducks in a row before calling them out, or
you’ll find yourself going crazy from the
twisting and manipulation of half truths,
stories, and lies. Make sure you have enough
proof. What is enough? Well that is dependent on
your situation and relationship. For some people
enough proof is a list of phone calls or a
suspicious e-mail. For many people proof needs
to be video/pictures of their partner’s affair.
A lot of my clients need to physically see their
partner with someone else before they can get
past their denial and put an end to their
partner’s lies. I always say, video never
lies…it is what it is.
If you need enough proof to bring into a court
of law and present to a judge, then I would
suggest hiring a professional investigator. A
knowledgeable investigator who specializes in
matrimonial cases will know what evidence is
needed, and more importantly what evidence is
admissible in court. Please realize there is a
definite distinction between evidence for your
own peace of mind and evidence that can be
presented in front of a judge. A list of
suspicious phone calls may be all the evidence
you need, but it is probably not enough evidence
to present to a judge. Video documentation of an
affair is. Also keep in mind that not all
evidence may be admissible. Computer
forensic investigation made on a hard drive
which uncovers old & deleted information (such
as e-mails) is admissible in a court of law. If
you are unsure about your particular situation,
contact a family lawyer or consult a
professional investigator.
